Building an Eco Xmas Tree: Part 2 of 4

Back in 1994, I built my first Eco-Xmas tree.  Check out my previous post to see why I decided that I couldn’t buy another cut tree or living tree, and buying an artificial tree was just too fake for me. 

I built it using scrap 2” by 4” and a ¾” plywood base.  Then I drilled holes in the 2” by 4” for the live pine branches. 

At the base, I drilled large holes for thicker branches and gradually made the holes smaller as I progressed upwards.

Here are some photos of the process:
